Aqua, the 367-foot superyacht that will run entirely on liquid hydrogen, will operate at a top speed of 17 knots and have a range of 3,750 nautical miles.
The technology depends on two 28-ton, vacuum-sealed tanks that store liquid hydrogen at a cool -423°F. The tanks are viewable through a glass panel at the base of a spiraling staircase at the center of the vessel.
The superyacht's futuristic looks aimed to complement its eco-conscious, cutting-edge technology with the luxurious air of a typical superyacht, according to the designer.
The team at Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design spent five months designing Aqua. "Our challenge was to implement fully operational liquid hydrogen and fuel cells in a true superyacht that is not only groundbreaking in technology but also in design and aesthetics," lead designer Sander Sinot explained in a press release.
